Blueberry Streusel Pie for the taste of homemade all year with frozen blueberries. Add this classic Southern dessert to your Shabbat table for a memorable ending.

Frozen or fresh, blueberries are beautiful in royal blue with the perfect balance of sweet and tart. In taste and health benefits Hashem's goodness shines through in the simple blueberry.

Emerging evidence shows that blueberries help protect the brain from the effects of age-related conditions
such as Alzheimer's disease or dementia. Researchers found that diets rich in blueberries significantly improved
both the learning capacity and motor skills of aging animals, making them mentally equivalent to much younger
ones.

Packed with antioxidants found in the dark blue pigment, blueberries neutralize free radicals that can damage the body’s vascular system. A healthy vascular system helps prevent cataracts, glaucoma, varicose veins, hemor- rhoids and heart disease. These antioxidants also boost the efficiency of Vitamin C to increase calcium absorp- tion and prevent infection.

2. In a separate mixing bowl, stir together remaining 1/4 cup sugar
and 3/4 cup flour with the cinnamon. Using fingers, crumble marga-
rine into the mixture until no lump of margarine is larger than a pea.

3. Mound blueberry mixture into the pie crust. Sprinkle streusel
over the filling. Place pie on a cookie sheet and bake 1 hour and 15
minutes, or until the juices bubble up in the center of the pie and are
thickened and the streusel is a deep golden brown.
